\n\n \n\n\n\n```\n### Timer Features\n\nHere's how the timer works and how you can interact with it:\n\n- **Setting the time**: Use the number input field to enter the desired minutes. You can also use decimal values (e.g., `1.5` for 1 minute and 30 seconds). Pressing `Enter` while focused on the input will start the timer.\n- **Controlling the countdown**: The three main buttons handle the workflow:\n - **Start**: Begins the countdown from the entered time. If paused, it resumes the timer.\n - **Pause**: Temporarily stops the countdown without resetting the remaining time.\n - **Reset**: Stops the timer and resets the display to the time currently shown in the input field.\n- **Visual and title feedback**: The remaining time is shown in large, easy-to-read digits. The page title updates in real-time with the current countdown value. When 60 seconds or less remain, the display turns red as a warning.\n\nThe interface also includes a status indicator that clearly shows whether the timer is ready, running, paused, or finished.",
